<h1>Configuring the prompt details auto text code</h1>
<p>The prompt details auto text code displays the prompt information for 
 all prompts in the document. You can configure: </p>
<ul>
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>Whether the 
 prompt title and index (a number indicating the order of the prompts in 
 the dataset report) are displayed.</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>The text to 
 display when a prompt is unanswered. The options are:</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted2><p class=TopicTextBulleted2>Display 
 nothing</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted2><p class=TopicTextBulleted2>Display 
 ”Prompt Not Answered”</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted2><p class=TopicTextBulleted2>Display 
 ”No Selection”</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted2><p class=TopicTextBulleted2>Display 
 &quot;All/None”<br>

	<br>

	Whether the word ”All” or ”None” displays depends on the type of prompt. 
 For example, an unanswered object prompt displays as ”None”, because no 
 objects are selected. An unanswered filter definition prompt displays 
 as ”All” because the report is not filtered and therefore all the objects 
 appear on the report.</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>Whether and 
 how to display the attribute name for the attribute element list prompts 
 in the document. The options are:</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted2><p class=TopicTextBulleted2>Display 
 the attribute name (for example, Region)</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted2><p class=TopicTextBulleted2>Omit the 
 attribute name</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted2><p class=TopicTextBulleted2>Repeat the 
 attribute name for each prompt answer (for example, Region = North, Region 
 = South)<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B><br>

	<br>

	Note</B></span><span>: </span>The browse form of the attribute, which is 
 displayed when a user answers the prompt, is used to display the attribute 
 elements in the prompt details auto text code. For information on browse 
 forms, see the MicroStrategy Project Design Guide.</p></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>Whether to 
 include unused prompts. An unused prompt occurs when you drill on a Grid/Graph 
 that contains a prompt. The resulting child report, which you can use 
 as a dataset report, can display or omit the prompt details from the parent. 
 </p></li>
</ul>
<h2>To configure the prompt details auto text code</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li style=" font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs2">Open 
 the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design </B></span>or <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Expand the section where you want the auto text code 
 by clicking the plus sign next to the section name.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Insert</B></span> 
 menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Auto Text</B></span>, then select 
 the auto text code to insert. The text field is added at the top left 
 corner of the selected section, although you can move the text field to 
 any desired position. </p></li>
</ol>
<p class="whs3"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 To add an auto text code to an existing text field, edit the text field 
 (select it and press F2) and then add the auto text. You may need to resize 
 the text field to view the auto text.</p>
<ol start="4" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs4">To type the auto text code 
 manually, insert a blank text field and type the code within braces { 
 }. As with data fields, if an object's name contains spaces or special 
 characters, enclose it in square brackets [ ] within the braces.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs4">Right-click the auto text code 
 and then click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report Details Properties</B></span>. 
 The Report Details Properties dialog box opens. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs4">Click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>General</B></span> 
 tab and choose to omit or include the features included in the Prompt 
 Details section.</p></li>
